Where do you get them nowadays? I want to make a chiptune player

Do you really need the original and can't use emulation?

Of course I could, but Its a whole another feeling listening to a "real" one (I know it doesnt sound different). Also its a nice demo hearing one of one of these working

>Where do you get them nowadays?

Get a C64 from eBay/garage sale/Goodwill and pull it.

Yamaha made synth chips too check those out

Just out of curiosity, what kind of chiptune player are you building? I make guitar pedals but I think it would be major cool if you could use ICS to build boutique keyboards that you could play different chiptune sounds with

Excuse the noob pls

I'm entertaining the idea of boutique analog synths with diy guides online but What exactly are you building?

On ebay you'll most likely get a bootleg, and most SID bootlegs are just a chunk of lead in epoxy.

This. You can find YM chips on Aliexpress.

somehow i doubt that can be trusted

>Can you still get them for a reasonable price? (<20$).

Not gonna happen. They've been over 40$ for years now and are only going to get more expensive.

Honestly, at that price I think I'd rather make my own synth.

Breakout the TTL, we're going oldschool!

I would have recommended Dick Smith if you were in Australia but they shut.

Probably E-Bay mate.

Literally any sound chip that's not a SID is affordable these days. Even an Atari POKEY is <20$ , i think it sounds pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNxICcU3bPo

Yamaha OPLs are dirt cheap if you're into FM Adlib type sounds.

There's also General Instruments AY-3 for the Sinclair/MSX type feel.
